The Heat Shields
Heat Shields exist solely for bad players to use. You should be punished for being in a bad position. Youi should not be rewarded for going into the circle. You should be punished.

I agree that it's most often used as a crutch for players who don't understand position or who go after a kill too late and too far away and think that it's okay because they have a get-out-of-jail-free card. But I don't want it removed from the game. When someone uses one it's like they're shining a flashlight on their own ineptitude. They make it so simple to spot the wounded idiot, and I for one am not too proud to take an easy kill.

@reconzero I sometimes go as close to the storm as possible or into it a little ways and throw a heat shield as far as I can and then hide to draw out the gate keepers. They then expose themselves and then I kill them and steal their sh*t. : )
Works real well.

Why did I never once in my life think of doing that? I love the way people use mis-direction in this game. I only recently thought to try throwing a zipline as a distraction instead of as a way to move. Haven't got a kill out of it yet, but I've made people move to counter which was all I was trying to do, so that's something.- @reconzero Lol, I thought of all the ppl on this forum, you for sure would have been doing that lol.
We would maybe make a decent duo team : )
Also I do the same if I ever use Bang, with her smoke. I use it more for miss direction and to draw ppl to an area I want them to go. It doesn't always work but I do find - "if you smoke it, they will come." ; )
